Boy Meets Girl: A Young Love Story

The Farmington Players’ is pleased to present a free “one night only” production of Sam Wolfson’s one act comedy Boy Meets Girl: A Young Love Story. Follow Sam and Katie as they go through the trials and tribulations of love at the tender age of five in this hilarious and sweet take on young romance. From the decision to check the “yes” box on their boyfriend/girlfriend contracts to more serious conversations about past nap part...ners, Sam and Katie find themselves entering into a genuine relationship, all in the midst of worrying about the spelling bee, selling Girl Scout cookies, and figuring out what they want to be when they grow up.

This heartwarming comedy stars Amy Lauter of Farmington Hills, and Michael Gingerella of Royal Oak, both well known to regular audience members of the Farmington Players. The production is directed by Terie Spencer of Commerce, whose professional experience includes working for the renowned Children’s Theater Company in Minneapolis.

Boy Meets Girl: A Young Love Story is the Farmington Player’s entry in the 2011 Michigan AACTFest competition being held February 4-6 at the Midland Center for the Arts. Community theaters from across Michigan will complete for the chance to move on to the American Association of Community Theater Regional competition in Columbus, Ohio in late April, and then on to the National competition to be held at the historic Geva Theater Center in Rochester, New York in June.

“This performance is our final dress rehearsal before the State competition,” said Spencer. “We are asking everyone to help us put the finishing touches on this hysterical show by attending our free preview, and then join us afterward in the lobby for a celebration.”

Boy Meets Girl: A Young Love Story continues the Farmington Players’ 57-year tradition of producing compelling live performances, most recently in a new state-of-the art facility. “The Barn” shines as one of the most inviting community theaters in the Detroit area. It also serves as one of the best bargains in the region.

Boy Meets Girl: A Young Love Story will be performed on January 29 at 8:00 p.m. and is free of charge. For more information on the Farmington Players or to purchase tickets for any regular season show, visit www.farmingtonplayers.org
